Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
Lakeside Swim Team’s Sydney Green has committed to Vanderbilt University, joining the Commodore women’s program for the fall of 2026.
I am thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to study and swim at Vanderbilt University! Thank you to my family and friends for always supporting me and making this possible. Also, a special thank you to the coaches at Lakeside for helping me to where I am as an athlete today and the staff at Vanderbilt for this incredible opportunity. I cannot wait to be part of this amazing program. ANCHOR DOWN!
Green recently captured her first Kentucky State championship in the 100 breast at the 2025 KHSAA State Championship, where, as a senior at Sacred Heart Academy, she touched first in 1:03.92, improving on her 3rd-place finish as a junior and earning an individual state title in 2026. That time was just off her career best from earlier this month in 1:03.34. She also finished 3rd in the 200 IM in 2:04.39, the first time she raced that event at these championships since her sophomore year, when she finished 4th. She also holds a 200 IM best of 2:04.10 from the McCallie Invite in November of 2023.
One of Green’s best short-course showings came in March of 2024, where she competed at the Dynamo Southern Premier. There, she set lifetime freestyle bests in the 200 free (1:51.20), 500 free (4:59.06), 1000 free (10:13.56), and 1650 free (16:58.47). Earlier that year, she set her fastest-ever time in the 400 IM at the CSC Winter Invitational, clocking 4:21.42.
Though Green’s skill set primarily lies in mid-distance/distance IM and free, she also holds a 100 free best of 51.89 from the 2025 KHSAA State Championships. She also swam her fastest-ever 200 fly at the Kentucky 13 & Over Championships in 2024, clocking 2:06.21.

Best Times SCY:
200 IM: 2:04.10 400 IM: 4:21.42 200 Free: 1:51.20 500 free: 4:59.06 1650 free: 16:58.47 100 Breast: 1:03.34 200 Fly: 2:06.21The Vanderbilt women are coming off a 13th-place finish at the 2026 SEC Championships.
Based on Green’s best times, she would have finished 27th in the 1650 free, 36th in the 400 IM, and 51st in the 500 free at those championships.
The Vanderbilt women did not score any individual swimming points; all their points came from relays. Though Green is still a little way from that scoring position, she does immediately fit into this Vanderbilt team, as she would hold the fastest 400 IM and 1650 free times on the roster this season. She would also sit just behind junior Madelyn Porter in the 500 free.
Green further builds on a deep Vanderbilt 2026 recruiting class that includes Amanda Vu, Amanda Vileikis, Kelly Qi, Matilda White, Sophie Pham, Shayna Elgart, and Brooke Miller.
